👍 Was a while since i worked in webtorrent but it dosen't seems new to me apart from ESM? Would like to see more use of

• for-await-of
• symbol.asyncIterator
• less use of Buffer and more use of Uint8Array, TextEncoder/decoder and DataView

basically less connected to node's core modules https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EDaayYnw6M

For the first two, they are supported in ES9 (2018), which we don't plan to support YET, because it drops Firefox 78 support. Less use of Buffer is def on the way :)
